Cracking Paid Software Discussion [Good or Bad?]

[Ore0]

I just wanted to get everyone's opinions on cracking paid software. I personally pay for all the paid software I use, as i believe it to be morally wrong to crack paid software and then sell work that i have created in the software. I just wanted to hear some people's views, and if anyone does crack software, how do they justify selling products they have made in the software. Thanks!

Depends on the software, if it is expensive as fuck (photoshop, sony vegas, etc etc..); you have to do what you have to do.

Yes and no. I don't download cracked games etc just so I can play for free. Though I do have a cracked copy of Microsoft office, and Photoshop, mostly because I'm a student and don't really have the money to buy these and I do need these for course work, not just entertainment. So I kind of have to with those. I also have a cracked version of Windows. Though I paid for a Laptop with Windows 8, and then installed Windows 7. So I technically paid for Windows 8, but choose to use Windows 7 instead. (Now using Windows 10, which I would have got for free anyway by upgrading from Windows 8).

I tend to use cracked software to try out a program, and if I like it, get a legitiment version. If not i remove the program. Main reason for this is that you're often limited in use on trial versions.
